Your first reply says it is Turkish and the next one says you are not sure and it may be Laz.

You have resources to find the translation, but yet do not know what language it is! It is a shame that you are being part of a larger "cultural destruction" of Armenian identity in Anatolia.

I am Armenian and I can assure you that those lyrics are in Armenian.

what are you saying?Kardeş Türküler is turkish titler and he or she wanted to translate ''Bingöl'' and it is turkish title too,so l thought it is TURKIsh song!!!! and some part of it Turkish and l changed.i am not Armenain adn l dont have to know which writings are Armenain or not.i dont care. i am not ashame of it!!i know turkish and you can just blame me for not speaking good turkish or good trasnlation. what a shame''' haha DO I HAVE TO KNOW YOUR LANGUAGE????

Please read more carefully what I have said. Obviously, I am not expecting you to know any Armenian. I am not even expecting you to care what language this song is in.

All I am saying is, as a Turkish person you can clearly tell that this song is not in Turkish, and yet you said it was. And if you watch the YouTube video of this song, the video says it is an Armenian song.

So, if you don't care then just say I don't know. But if you do, I am sure you already knew that this was in Armenian.

Bing&#246;l is turkish title,so firstly l thought it is Turkish song.l heard so many song from Kardeş Turkuler.and this title alsı is turkish,but when l found the song lyrics,isaw it is not only Turkish song,and l didint know what is the other language.i just translate turkish part and didnt look youtube,so it is so normal for me not to know which language it is

''It is a shame that you are being part of a larger "cultural destruction" of Armenian identity in Anatolia.''
i just was angry this sentence!

Actually, I was looking for an English translation. I knew it was an Armenian song, sung by a Turkish group. I am studying Turkish, and tried to look up the words and couldnt' find most of them, so I figured it may be in Armenian.
In any case, didn't mean to cause an angry discussion. I love this song. It is beautiful both the song and the singer singing it. I think Kardes Turkuler chose it to be a message of peace. I wish all the hate talk between peopel would stop and we would all realize we bleed the same, eat the same and drink the same.
Spend less time arguing and start dancing.
or singing..
or playing an instrument.
thank you!

Bingol-the real story :)

Bingol is an Armenian song written by an Armenian poet named Avetik Issahakian who survived the Armenian Genocide and lived out the rest of his life in Soviet Armenia. The lyrics are in Armenian and were at one point translated into Turkish.
Avetik Issahakian also wrote A famous book Abu Lala Mahari and Sahadi's Last Spring, a very beautiful short story inspired by classical Persian love songs.
I think the Turkish person on here is pulling your leg, as one would have to be lacking in intelligence to listen to a song in Armenian and think it were in Turkish....

Talking without Listening

So the area is empty, you may run as much as you can. Any more ?

Ardas says "I was mistaken." Ok, but the message you laid still remains there...
Why don't you delete it yourself? Why don' t you translate the remaining into
turkish (if you know) or to english so that we can understand what the song
tells about? I thought This was what we all expected here

And Catamian comes to tell the life story of Avetik Issahakian,
laying another message of course which I'm not going to repeat.
That wasn't enough. Though Marmaris has said twice that she hadn't
listened to the song, Catamian ignores this fact. Otherwise Catamian would have
no reason to talk. Catamian adresses Marmaris as "the Turkish person on here"
(how clever) and tries to insult her "saying you lack intelligence, but makes another mistake as this unnecessary
and unfair insult goes to everybody. I think you have surpassed the level
of cleverness. And may I ask, have you noticed that this is a place where
lyrics are translated. There are many places where you can discuss whatever
you have in mind, but this place is not one of them. Will you be able to understand?

AND MODERATORS AND THE ADMINISTRATOR,

WHERE ARE THE RULES?

I DEMAND that post of catamian be deleted. OTHERWISE I ACCUSE
you of LETTING POLITICS into the forum.

My apologies if I did not properly read the entire history of the thread.

As for politics, I don't see understand you could be talking about: if s/o wrote that "La Vie en Rose" was a German song and I or someone else corrected him or her, pointing out that it was in fact by Edith Piaffe and a French song, I can't imagine you would accuse me of being somehow "political," unless proper and/or academic attribution is something that you find somehow offensive or wrong-minded. Quite to the contrary I was paying the person's/your intelligence a compliment.
There are translations available in both TUrkish and English if you care to google a bit (Kostana) and if you still need them, please let me know as I would be happy to send them to you and to ET.

(that was: English, Greek, Western Armenian and Turkish,respectively. I apologies, I do hope I am not being politically incorrect again but I do not know the Kurdish or Laz equivalents....)

This is an Armenian song (which of course the Turks have taken and translated in Turkish and now some Turks like "marmaris" want to claim it as a theirs-- JUST LIKE THE TURKISH FLAG = stolen flag of constantinople, TURKISH LANGUAGE = mix of already existing languages, TURKISH ALPHABET = copy of latin letters).

This was written by Avedik Isahakian (1875-1957 AD). He was a native of Gumri, Armenia. Avedik Isahakian carried on the poetic traditions of the Armenian troubadors, writing of love and sorrow relating to the Armenian Genocide in his poems. He wrote about disillusioned love, love for his mother and his homeland, sorrow for those who fell heroically for their homeland. Isahakian's poems are simple, clear, sometimes mystical. They come from the heart of the poet directly to the heart of the reader.

It is just shameful that Turks would steal this form of art, after they were the ones who caused the sorrow, and thus, the inspiration for the song in the first place.
